FUT Hair Transplant

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is the traditional procedure of hair transplant, which is also renowned as Strip method. In this procedure; the strip is extracted from the permanent zone (which is the back of the head; from the utmost center 6 cm the strip is taken out, we called this area; donor area) and then the grafts are collected from the strips and placed in the bald area which we termed as recipient area.

Usually the strip length depends on the circumference of the back head and the width depends on the flexibility of skin available at the back of the head. In this procedure the surgeon gives two parallel blind cuts on the utmost center of the back of the head; the parallel cut is given in the first two layers of the skin so there is no chances of any deep damages. Usually surgeon Rana Irfan gives parallel cuts of 20-25 cm long and their width mostly remain 1.0 to 2.00 cm, but in general cases the width depends on skin flexibility and laxity as mentioned above.

What is FUT Hair Transplant?

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is the method of the hair transplant in which the strip is taken out and then the grafts are collected from the strip.

In Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) you don’t have to shave the head like you have to do it in Follicular unit Extraction (FUE).

From the Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technique the extensive large bald area can get covered easily in a few sittings.

By using the advance technology the grafts harvested number can increase up to 3500 grafts.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is highly famous in surgeons; all over the world because it is proven to restore any type of hairs without causing any complications.

Grafts survival chances are increased in Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) method in comparsion with the modern method Follicular unit Extraction (FUE). The grafts extracted in Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) possess surrounding tissues; while in Follicular unit Extraction (FUE) the grafts are individually extracted, so they have little surrounding tissue which decreased the chances of graft survival.

In Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) there are very minimal chances of grafts damage because the grafts are evacuated from the strip; under microscopic close inspection.

This procedure involves pain and cuts, but the density of hair revives from this procedure is remarkable.

STEPS AND PROCEDURE OF FUT:

In the first step; the head is washed with the scrub solution for the proper cleaning of the head.

The surgeon injects local anesthesia (Lidocaine) in the donor area.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) is performed by giving two parallel blind cuts to extract the strip of skin bearing hair by using a scalpel from the back of the head.

The donor area from which the strip is extracted out is enclosed by using the method called trichophytic closure; which is effective in minimizing the scar visibility because the hair begin to grow grow through the scar.

The strip is dissected under microscope to acquire perfect grafts.

The pieces of strips (silver) are then divided into multiple grafts; which possess one or more follicular units.

Before starting the procedure; from the patient’s own blood the P.R.P solution is prepared.

The extracted unit of follicular units from the strip is absorbed in the P.R.P (platelet rich plasma) solution.

The recipient area is prepared by infiltrating local anesthesia and normal saline water.

After preparing the recipient area; the surgeon produces tiny cuts, which called microscopic slits from the microscopic needle accordingly to the natural hair angle and direction.

In one session of Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) normally 2000-3000 grafts (maximum) can get harvested.

On the very next day of the procedure you can shampoo your head; although we usually call our patient’s to visit our clinic for the head wash.

WHY FUT Hair Transplant?

F.U.T should be used in hair transplantation because It maximizes the hair transplantation growth in such a way that after the hair is removed from the back of the scalp in a single strip.

The individual follicular units can be removed without being damaged, while in the conventional techniques, hair was produced in various strips.

The strips were then cut into smaller pieces, this process eventually causes damage.

F.U.T also ensures the naturalness of hair transplantation, since the hair grows in follicular units but the particular use of F.U.T ensures that each implant will be identical to the other follicular units.

This leads towards the overall better results and provide a natural long life look. F.U.T also gives the capacity to carry out large hair transplant sessions.

WHY IN PAKISTAN?

F.U.T and F.U.E are the techniques that are being widely used in Pakistan because they are being considered as the best hair transplantation.

FUT is famous in Pakistan because it provides the best results in the most affordable rates at the same time providing the best surgeons.

F.U.T is highly used in Pakistan because of greater extent of hair fall and F.U.T provides the cure with the best results.

Reason of F.U.T being the best technique, it is used to restore the bald area of scalp by transplanting hairs permanently.

In Pakistan there is a huge problem of hair loss faced by both males and females so it is the best cure to solve the issue of hair loss before it gets into a sever state.

The reason of hair loss is mainly cause of tension and high pressure of work for males specifically.
